Weightless
Can happinness be wrapped in foil
as it a calorific value.
A specific size.
Does it weigh heavy on you.
Does it make your heartache
is it what others perceive
or is it within you .
Is it a number on a scale
the label in a shirt
a tear on your cheek
a reflection in a mirror
a state of mind
be who you are
not what others want you to be
be you.
